+### Using GNU Make ###
+The make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can use to build
+Google Test on systems where GNU make is available (e.g. Linux, Mac OS

+Instead, it just builds the Google Test library and a sample test.
+You can use it as a starting point for your own Makefile.

+If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
+following commands should succeed:
+
+  $ cd ${SRCDIR}/make

+If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of make/Makefile to make
+them go away.  There are instructions in make/Makefile on how to do
